HOW TO DISAPPEAR Cover Reveal & Giveaway at Teenreads! (and no bad advice whatsoever)

Going through the editing and production process for a new book is a lot like having a present hidden away in a burlap bag.  You're pretty sure you'll love it, but unfortunately, you can't open it.  You can't even see it...for years.

This is how long I've been working on my new thriller, How to Disappear, which will be out in early summer, 2016.

But finally, while I don't get to open the darned thing, it's out of the bag!  And the wrapping is gorgeous!

I love the cover of How to Disappear, and I hope you will too.  The reveal is on Teenreads, where you can also read an excerpt and win not only a copy of How to Disappear, but also Where It Began, Afterparty, and a very cute Afterparty tote bag.

I still have to wait for what seems like forever to crack open the book, but at least now I'll have company staring at the evocative image on the cover!

Is it summer yet? 

P.S. In the spirit of shameless promotion that I try to get everyone else to adopt in order to destroy their careers, if anyone wants to help get the word out about the reveal and contest, here's a paste-friendly tweet:  Check out the cover reveal for @annstampler's new thriller #HowToDisappear at @teenreads & win a copy here ow.ly/Rlo2V #giveaway

Thanks!
